I would say Brandy said everything amazing of our daughter. I'm Charity the bonus mom. And she came into my life 14 years ago. She is what made me a mom before I ever know I wanted to be a mom. She showed me so much, taught me alot. I love and miss her everyday. Her baby sister is so much like her I see Jazzlynn in her. All I know whatever pain she was in I know she is no longer in pain she is free. That she is watching over us. I know she is with family that is watching over us.
Thank you for being such a wonderful mom. It takes a village, and she was blessed to have bonus parents who love her as their own. We couldn't do it without you! ❤
You’ve been good for James and I’m glad he had you through this. And I know he will always go through it. And I hope you’re there for him always. Thank you Charity. I know it’s been hard on you all. I wish I could have made it up to be there for the family. I’ll always remember Jazzlyn as the little girl I knew as I wasn’t around for her teenage and adult years much.
I want to say thank you to Texas Pictures, to Glenn & Sheri, to everybody that has worked with this video, I know there were things that cannot be unseen. This whole topic is so stigmatic I hope that it helps to break the silence because now we've seen a true picture of the pain that survivors go through and a little bit of understanding of what victims go through. As I said I could never tell you enough about Jazzlynn, there's so many things about her that made her who she was. She was left-handed, she was an artist, Green Day was her favorite band, 1 time she told me if you really want to mess with somebody you can break in their house and move everything 2 inches to the left. Our whole world has been 2 inches to the left since she left this Earth. I hope and pray that anybody out there watching this will know that no matter what you have someone who loves you, you have someone who cares. And even if you have someone to talk to, you can reach out to me because I have time to listen and I have time to talk. Know that you matter so much and whatever you're going through it's only temporary, things can get better if we start to talk about what is wrong. Prayers, hugs, and love, from a daughter and a mother. 🩵💜💚🙏🫂🙏🫂
Jazzlynn's story didn't end at death. Through the gift of organ donation, others are inspired to become organ donors themselves. Her legacy lives on and her spirit thrives in the hearts of those she had helped save. Jazzlynn whispers a silent thank you to the universe for the opportunity to make a difference. For in the end, she knew that the greatest gift of all was the gift of giving life itself. God bless this mama and ty for honoring your beautiful daughter and bringing awareness. Mental health issues needs to be discussed more often. 🌷🙏🏼❤️
I’ve known Jazzlynns family over 30 yrs. Her father James is my best friend. This death devastated all of us. Personally I’ve had 4 family members commit suicide. I wish people would reach out so this doesn’t happen to other families. Brandy I love you sister. We are here for you
Love you, my brother! Yes, you are our family! You've been there since the beginning even before I came around and Jazzy was born. Life has changed so much but I hope that through Jazzy lives will be saved. Peace, love, and hugs!
Suicide has a ripple effect on an entire family. We lost our grandmother before any of us were born. My mother at that time was 12yo. It affected her throughout her life. At the age of 42yo my mother took her own life. She left behind her 6 children between the ages of 20-6yo. My brother Alan was the youngest. It troubled him his whole life as it did for all of us. Alan took his life in 2023 at the age of 53yo. It shattered myself and my siblings. We need to learn kindness…you never know what someone is going through. #mentalhealthisreal #suicideprevention
I am so sorry to hear everything that you have also going through, and your family. I pray the peace of God for you answer other siblings. Postvention becomes prevention when we have a lived experience like ours. Make sure you take time for yourself while caring for everyone else. Peace prayers hugs and love!
This poor grieving mother. I can't imagine the pain she must be going through. She seems so well-spoken... I hope she continues to heal from this tragedy. ❤
I really can't tell you how much that means to me because I never want to see another family go through this. If we can help anybody in just one person, it gives us hope beyond measure. No relationships should lead to this. Thank you for choosing to stay. ❤🙏💙💜
I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful daughter this way. As a mother, I can't even imagine going thru this grief. You are so right about Jesus using Jazzlynn to save these other lives with her organ donation 🙏 Thank you for sharing your story. May God bless you, comfort you and continue to help you thru this. R.I.P Jazzlynn
As a psychologist that has lost many family members on my father's side to suicide, this is an excellent video on understanding suicide. Thank you for addressing the guilt and pain we must cope with in the aftermath. You touched on so much regarding suicide and it's hereditary connection for many. If your story saves one life, and I believe it will, it is a win. Thank you do much for sharing Jazzlyn's as well as your story.
Thank you for sharing a part of your story with us and for your compassion. I'm so sorry to hear what your family has experienced. This is why I chose to share the truth, even if it is difficult others need to see and understand and begin to talk about these kinds of things. I believe that postvention is prevention for many of us that are survivors. I'm a student of ministry and psychology and if you'd ever like to talk more I would love your professional opinion and insight.❤
Sad, such confusion going on in these young minds and lives. Glad to hear she was saved. Yes there is a hope greater than what this world has to offer.
Yr not alone on this topic. It's terrible and it comes without warning. I am a survivor to it from my husband. Thank you for your words and your time given to tell the story. Very disturbing Angel didn't cut her down and start CPR while talking!! I did with our electric turned off. Blessings 🕊️
I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing my child. My bio father committed suicide after a violent attack on my mom. Thank you for sharing this story.
First of all I am so sincerely sorry for your loss mama..secondly as a recipient of a kidney I honor jazzlynns decision to donate her organs. She will live on thru the lives she saved. ❤❤❤
That’s awesome. I’m so glad you shared this. My uncle hasn’t been able to get a kidney and it’s hard to see him so sick, today. Over the holidays, we were all listening to his stories, because we don’t know if we’ll get to hear them again. He had a career, leading wilderness expeditions and, before the Internet took off, he traveled the world to find jewelry and other gifts to sell in his shop, so he has some really good stories! The gift of organ donation is so amazing and I am so grateful for the person who allowed you to be here to write this! I keep praying that my uncle will receive a kidney! We love Uncle Tom! ❤
@@sciencenotsrigma Father God i thank you for this day. I thank you for this moment to come before you to ask that you intervene and meet the need of Uncle Tom’s kidney. Father you are limitless and nothing is impossible to those that believe, with this said i trust you and believe that you heal Uncle Tom’s kidney and body. Thank you for the exact match and that there is no time lost in the process of getting him into surgery to receive this kidney. I thank you that you guide the surgeons hand and help the team of healthcare providers to provide the best care for and during this transplant. I also thank you that Uncle Tom’s body is strong enough and will not reject this kidney. He’ll live many more years together with this niece, family, and friends. Father I also ask you bless and bring comfort to the donors family and friends. I thank you for hearing my prayers. I thank you for answering them. To you be all praise, glory, and honor. In Jesus name . Amen. I am in agreement with your prayer for your uncle to live. I come against death and any hindrance of this petition to be fulfilled in the authority of Jesus name. Amen. 🕊️🙌
@@BfromKC Brandy I want to thank you for sharing jazzlyn and her life story to us. Her life and death have touched my heart and brought me insight. I now have better understanding for questions I’ve been seeking answers for quite some time. God bless you and keep you and those you love safe.🌺
So sorry for your loss 😢🫂 Thank you for sharing. She saved 3 others, that is a beautiful selfless gift. I lost my son almost 7 yrs ago. We can only take hr by hr day by day with God's strength he gives us ❤
Oh my goodness this is a sad story. This poor girl was in such a toxic 3-way as they say. No judgement for her or her chosen lifestyle however and may she be in peace now. I'm glad she still lives on through her organ donations. Brandy is obviously educated and spreading her story in hopes to bring help to others. Thank you Texas Pictures for all awareness you bring.
Thank you for staying! ❤ it makes a world of difference to know let her life made a difference in someone else's life. I hope that everyday you'll continue to stay and if you need to reach out to someone, reach out to me but make sure to let someone know because no matter what we can talk about things. Thank you again so much you don't know how much this means to me!
@felicitycarter8120 good to ear you started counseling. I hope you are still going and I hope it helps you to be able to talk about things. Talking makes a huge difference!!! As a mom I'm proud to hear that you're doing that and I hope you keep taking good care of yourself! ❤🙏🫂❤️
Read something not long ago and I think it’s accurate: Suicide wouldn’t end the pain, it would just transfer it to your surroundings. That’s definitely true 😥❤️
God Bless you! Your daughter has a “Rockstar Mom” and I know if she were still alive she would have been a “Rockstar in other peoples lives!” Continue to be her voice keep telling her story she is beautiful she is worry and Gods Grace and Mercy for us all is worth praising I believe with all my heart she is walking hand in hand with Jesus and watching down on you and smiling because I know you are making her proud! You go Mom and remember #GodsGotThis!!! Her legacy will live on through you!! #LongLiveJazzlyn!!!!!
Thank you so much for your uplifting words and your encouragement. Praise God for his gift of salvation and knowing that she has seen the face of God and walks with Jesus everyday watching down on me.❤🙏🫂
Suicide is devastating, my uncle suicided and 2 of my brothers, so I agree with the genetic disposition. I’m a suicide survivor and have struggled with chronic depression my whole life. I know Jesus loves me and He has got me through sobriety and the death of many family members and the hardest one the death of my husband of 38 years. So I’m still here one day at a time. Thank you for sharing, bless you and your family 🙏🏼🥰
I'm so sorry..I have major depression PTSD and anxiety.. I'm not going to lie I was suicidal at different points in my life. My bio dad shot my mom ,5 × then himself. She lived until dying of cancer in 2016. I have 2 kids and a grandbaby I have custody of I think that keeps me going although life can be hard sometimes.. prayers to you 🙏
Jazzlynn's gift of life through organ donation was admirable and she continues to live on earth through the people she helped and lives on in the minds and hearts of those who hear her story. Thank you ♥️
Cousin I love u and loosing jazzy was a terrible loss for our family. She will forever be missed, and I am so proud of you for sharing her story. Her and Kaylee will live on in heaven together, carefree and happy until we meet again rest well, sweet Binky we love you
Thank-you for telling your daughter’s story. This is a fantastic video explaining suicide. My brother has a similar story- but he was resuscitated and lived with a severe brain injury for about a year before he finally passed. Sending lots of love and prayers. You spoke so eloquently and she would be so proud. 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
Wow, what a beautiful message from this mother. Thank you for sharing your daughter’s journey the beautiful parts and even the painful times. You made such a beautiful choice to honor your daughter through organ donation. Also, sharing Jazzlynn’s story will definitely help so many others who silently suffer. Thank you for having such courage. Much love to you and your family.
Wow. Your boyfriend dumps you for your roomate. Young folks: you can’t trust anyone! If you have a decent family, please go home and reach out for help.
Actually, I'm a minister. I study psychology alongside my ministry degrees in order to understand and hopefully be able to help someone else. My daughter also had a psychological understanding and knowledge of mental health issues. She was very self-aware. We were very open and discussed these things because mental health is an issue in our family history. But you make a good point, because it can't be prevented if we don't talk about the hard things and we don't talk about the dark things. And in this case there wasn't time to talk about anything the moment that the cataclysm occurred it was already too late, and the problem was that the roommate didn't tell anybody all the red flags were going up.
Do you think that Jazlynn was looking for some emotional stability growing up in her own family it just seems to me like this was just a big jumbled mess and she didn’t really know where she fit in or what she was supposed to be even in what sex she was bornI think the poor girl was just lost
I’m so sorry about your terrible loss. Your child sounds like such a caring and accepting person. You are doing such a good thing, by sharing what happened. I know it will affect a lot of people and, hopefully, save lives! ❤
So sorry for the loss of your daughter, god bless you for your daughters and your families sacrifice in your time of sorrow ❤ my mother received a single left lung transplant and we had 7 more beautiful everything’s with her because of a donor and family just like yours! Thank you❤
I wish there were more stories like this. No one I know has had anyone they know commit suicide. I feel alone in the fact I lost too many loved ones to suicide. Watching her story helps me with my losses. Thank you for sharing your story as hard as it is. God bless you🙏
This is a very first for the production company and I am humbly honored to have had this opportunity to pave the way hopefully for others to be able to tell their story through Texas Pictures. I've actually created a podcast it's in the description link so that I can help share the stories of others and break the stigma to help leave that light on for others. Thank you for your kindness for your encouragement and for your heartfelt words. We really appreciate the opportunity to share these things ❤
I am so sorry. I found out in March of 2020 that the child I had placed for adoption in 1989 had died of suicide in 2013. I still am struggling, every day. I deal with chronic depression and suicidal ideation myself so to know that he wasn’t supported by his “family” breaks my heart. But your baby was supported, and her pain was still too much and I am so sorry that this happened to you.
It doesn’t seem like this acceptance of transitioning and the hormones and whatever drugs are given have improved this condition it causes confusion and has increased in suicide it’s sad and should be looked at by professionals more seriously
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!! SO.. beautifully beautifully voiced with such love and understanding of real life insight I will never forget! I'm so happy to know Jazzlyn loves Jesus too! I so look forward to meeting you all when our Savior returns😊. You are such a beautiful precious Mama and I honor you for sharing your journey it has blessed me more than I can express through teary eyes of Thankfulness! ❤❤❤✝️❤❤❤
I'm so sorry.😢 I know a girl like your daughter. Actually we don't know each other, but we have had this weird message relationship for 3 years. She is a transgender girl. She has changed her name, gender and ethnicity several times in these years. I'm an average adult, much older than her, but for some reason she wants to lean on me. I don't know why. Am I the stable adult in her life? Someone dull "normal" outside her LGB-society (and now drug crowd) that is not judging her but is a "window" to normal life? I don't know. But she is spiraling. I don't think she will see the end of this year. She has been using fentanyl i.v. now for 1,5 years and her body is starting to give up 😔 This relationship is taking it's toll on me but I don't have the ❤ to turn my back on her either. I feel so bad and sad. She is someones daughter 😔
I hope you will continue to let your friend know you care about her. It may be making more of a difference than you know. I was addicted and starting to have organs affected and I did get help, in time. I know there’s a limit to what you can do, but never give up on a person with an addiction. Recovery is possible as long as we’re alive! Fentanyl is such a scary drug. I watch channels, where they interview people with addictions, on the streets and I have worked with people with the same problems. I used to say, “I know this person will recover.” but I can’t place any bets, anymore, because it can take you so fast and I have lost so many people I knew, but I always hope. Sometimes people surprise you and turn things around and it’s often the ones you least expect will! Prayers for you, both. ❤
Tough spot. Thank you for sharing. I don’t know that it could help but if she’s anyplace near us when we’re shooting stories on the road we could interview her. The process seems to often do something positive for the storyteller.
@@TexasPicturesI love this offer! I love your channel and I have directed hundreds if not thousands to your channel by way of my RU-vid family (community) I have and also my own large family. Thank you for everything you do! I have been a sub of yours since your channel had under 10k subscribers, it warms my heart to see how much your channel has grown and is growing. Please never stop! So many people need this channel 🩷🙏🫂
My cousin, my friend and coworker and my step daughter all committed suicide. Watching this kinda triggered me honestly but i just wanted to leave a comment and tell you that you are so well spoken and explained suicide so well. Im sorry for so much loss youve suffered. Your daughter is beautiful. Love to u from Oklahoma
Jesus definitely keeps his promises. Jazzlynn is in the most amazing hands imaginable. You will see each other again. No more sorrow and no more tears. ❤ God bless you and your family.
As a RN those honor walks are soooo hard. Especially if we have taken care of the patient. Doing the honor walk for my brother was the hardest thing ever.
As a Trans guy, I immediately clocked this video, and thought maybe ‘they’ were non binary BUT for the mother to be so adult and Omni-sided about her child’s death shows how spiritually and emotionally evolved and self aware of the kids ongoing struggles with their realities she was! Not sure I could do the same but..ALSO as someone who has lost a partner due to overdose, I personally know and understand how badly the parents and loved ones need a scapegoat and someone to blame.. so I applaud her, down to the decision to make them an organ donor! 💯I’m sure the other two were probably manipulating and also probably using them to their advantage as well which they will have to answer to by the likes of a bitch named Karma soon so, revenge or escape, like the mother said, it’s way more nuanced, with No black and white when it come to suicide!😢 R.I.P & shame on the other two who didn’t even wanna be concerned with cutting them down or even taking a glance into the closet even to help or be bothered because of their delicate ‘spinning’ turmoil it caused ThEM! They didn’t want to help until told to by authorities and in any other capacity, if proven the negligence could have been deemed contributing!
